Hello Guys

Im going Mental here, I recently had to upgrade to a new computer with the terrible Windows 8.1 OS
and it just wont play BOTF, and ive been playing this game since I first got into computers

Ive installed and re-installed and downloaded your clean install, but the MOUSE just will not respond correctly

Can I have the link for the MPR++ ?

I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME

(old computer died)

Welcome Guys,
sent you the links.

@dames18 try to disable video playback. Might be a codec issue.

[dames18]

Holy crap! Flocke! You are amazing! That absolutely did the trick!! Thank you very much!! Now that vanilla is working I'm going to install MPR++ again and hope it doesn't crap out lol.

[GIBBO]

Thanks for the link, installed Vanilla patch and it now wont load at all, I dont really understand the message it gives

Program can't run becasue d3dx9_43.dll is missing...

Runtime has ended the program in an unusal way

[Flocke]

glad I could help dames18

Gibbo, if you read the red text in the message I sent, you'll find you need to run DXSETUP.exe from mpr++\redist\directx
HTH

[GIBBO]

Opps my bad! I went looking for that file on the interwebs and installed Direct x from Microsoft.

ITS WORKING!

I play this game a lot (never played a modded version) so I shall report back all errors and queries to here

Thanks

Hi all fellow BOTF lover,

I was wondering whether I could have the link to the MPR download as my windows 8 computer makes the time playing this awesome game more like a wrestling match than a waltz.

Please, send me a link !!! Windows 8 is between botf and me...

Thanks.

OOOOOOO it looks sooo pretty, all the nebula and stuff, also ship design changes and the graphics seem toned down, hopefully that will stop the game constantly crashing during large Battles. (mainly against the Ferengi)

everything working great sooo far

[Flocke]

great

vokur, check your pm!

[vokur]

Really, thank you.

Downloading as i type this.

So far so good. I'm using the 1024 resolution patch and it looks great. Fought a battle with the Talarians and, strangely, I can't see their laser beams or torpedoes. But, luckily, this is the first glitch I've seen period. I have had no crashes thus far. I just added patches from bof-patcher and tonight we'll see what happens ;-)

[dames18]

Fighting cloaked ships crashes me. But, I added bof-patcher so . . . I guess it is time for me to scale back and see what happens ;-)
